Ease Into Brushing Teeth

Particularly if it’s their first time, many dogs object to having their teeth brushed. Apart from progressively getting the dog used to the taste of toothpaste, there are other important first actions dog owners may take to put their dog in the correct zone for a brushing session. To make the dog comfortable, first lightly massage its cheeks—outside the gum line. Then wrap some medical gauze around your index finger and begin scrubbing the gums and teeth with that instead of straight for a toothbrush.
